Ingredients

  • 450g flour

  • 1 level tsp bread soda (bicarbonate of soda/baking soda)

  • 1 level tsp salt

  • 350-400ml buttermilk

  • olive oil

  • topping of your choice

  • Equipment:

  • 1 Swiss roll tin 10 x 15 inch (25.5 x 38cm)

Method

  1. First fully preheat your oven to 230°C.

  2. Sieve the dry ingredients into a large wide bowl. Make a well in the centre. Pour most of the milk in at once. Using one hand, mix in the flour from the sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky.

  3. When it all comes together, turn it out onto a floured board, knead lightly for a few seconds, just enough to tidy it up. Brush the tin with olive oil. Roll the dough out thinly to fit the large Swiss roll tin or divide into 6 equal sized pieces. Cover the dough with fillings of your choice.

  4. Bake in a fully preheated oven for 25 minutes approx.

  5. For individual pizzas roll out each piece of dough into a 15cm round. Spread with 2 tablespoons of topping eg. Piperonata, then arrange 5 or 6 thin slices of Salami on top. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of grated Mozzarella cheese and bake in a fully heated convention hot oven for 8-10 minutes or until crisp underneath and golden and bubbly on top. (Careful to roll the dough out thinly or it will not cook properly).
